Abstract

It has been observed that for the axially symmetric Einstein-Rosen metric, the stress-tensor of a scalar meson field associated with meson of rest mass μ cannot be the source term for generating gravitation. The above result also holds even when this meson field is coupled with an electromagnetic field.
